A Blackburn-based commercial cleaning company has taken its next leap in growth with the addition of Lancashire Cleaning Services in a bid to expand the company’s market share.

Gemini Commercial Cleaning has described the acquisition of rival company Lancashire Cleaning Services as an ‘integral part’ of its business growth strategy, as it looks to embrace the company’s 25 year heritage.

Imran Khan, Director at Gemini Commercial Cleaning, has said: “It’s a very exciting time at Gemini and we’re all absolutely delighted to be taking on a new challenge in the form of Lancashire Cleaning Services. The experience and reputation behind the company align closely with our own operations and so we expect that the acquisition will be seamless.

“We currently operate with the highest standards and expect that the move will only enhance our current services. Although we will continue to operate under Gemini Commercial Cleaning, the service our clients receive is set to improve even further.”

The premium cleaning specialists already possess a wide range of successful commercial and industrial cleaning contracts as part of long-standing client relationships with local businesses in the form of schools, hospitals, healthcare and government bodies.

With over 10 years of experience under its belt, Gemini Commercial Cleaning currently employs more than 240 local people from its Blackburn base. Following the acquisition of Lancashire Cleaning Services, Khan predicts that its workforce is set to grow even further: “This exciting period of growth for Gemini is not only great for ourselves but also the local economy. As we continue to grow we’ll be expanding our workforce even further and creating new jobs for more local people in and around Blackburn.”
